I KNOW! Art, right? Mr Malik. Yonks ago, when I was 14, my mum had a large crush on him. It was pretty inappropriate, but she remembers it well….

Agreed re choon. I loved hearing the ‘B’ side as well, which since 2009 has been missing (I have it as a ring tone).

@rob sounds wonderful!

@scaryB  oh, that be very clever….the top’s poking out. I like it!

@translatorcircuit  welcome to the forum.

Thomas Jerome Newton (Bowie) was quite a bit different from our Doctor. In many, many ways, but it was a particularly good film.

Sounds like you enjoyed the episode then? 🙂

I’ve no doubt at all that the newly minted companions and a fully regenerated Doctor will survive in space -who, knows, there…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave   Oh no! That’s awful. I think there’s a lot of positivity about this series and it will be interesting to read all this, ponder and then 8-10 months later (?), to actually see it for the first time.

But on balance I agree: the cellar is the way to go. That and I’m sure @rob agrees heartily, some very good coffee.

Possibly…[Read more]

A few ideas popped into my head after watching The Woman Who Fell To Earth.

I know people think Rise Against is too much like Minor Threat but still….the episode highlighted war, trophies, injustice, fair play, authenticity and loyalty.

@rorysmith

The worst part was how they very specifically pushed the female agenda. This is sad because it feels artificial and pushy

You mean the advertisements were pushy? In Oz, at least, we have no ads (as yet) on ABC. This was up on site at the same time as UK viewers watched it and without ads is SO much better 🙂

I’m in love with this…[Read more]

@fatmaninabox  -on the other thread…I was crying-laughing. But not REAL laughing because my computer is obstreperous. Shutting it down works occasionally which annoys me (Thane in particular).

Just to say a quick hello to all newbies & oldies as well & hoping to see @arbutus on these pages soon.

I actually loved the episode. The tremendous…[Read more]

hee-wheey  (timey whimey whee-hay).

Loving IT! The beginning, the bike, was awesome. The golden-thing looked exactly like my portable clothesline, which, when you move it, falls apart.

The Golden Clothesline.

Good to see all the regulars back.

She’s terrific, aint she?

@pedant

A little nudge from some birds (possibly Osprey) told me Mr P has a birthday! And on the same day as the New Doctor. Hooray& and hip hip; hip hip…..

(LOL, I’ trying to keep up….      😉

Puro and Thane.

@pedant

That’s awful for your dad, Mr P. It would’ve been painful to go through & also to watch. Awful.

And I didn’t explain myself well.  It was sufficient evidence of my own foolishness.

The aspirin issue was my own fault. Had I been a normal patient without the susceptibility to nasty ulcers, nurofen would’ve been fine. Had I actually read…[Read more]

@mudlark

Yes exactly. The tiny amount given in these preparations wouldn’t ease one toothache.  Statins = tummy aches in many.

@bambi70006

My childhood goal was to be Queen of England until my mother explained to me how that works.

LOL! Welcome Nancy: it’s good to see another American joining this bunch.

A retired surgical nurse? Admiration is oozing. It’s not an easy job at all, is it?

I watched The Crown too -I think I’m in the middle of it 😉  Timey-whimey.

@missy @pedant @mudlark @whisht

Funny Story.

I was diagnosed with Crohns, right. I was told: “don’t take aspirin or disprin.”

About 10 years later, some awesome headache relief appeared in the name of “nurofen.”

I was working hard & studying but not into studying labels. I took 2, sometimes 3 & it was AMAZING. So much better than Panadol!…[Read more]

@mudlark

jeepers, sorry about that: I forgot to thank you. That’s a terrific story -at least you sat on the stairs. And yes, now, wallets & purses contain whole lives.

In most 4th -5th yrs here there’s few group lectures. Generally tutorials where people get together to ‘bounce’ ideas off one another.

Puro.

Whoa, “How’s everybody doin?”  We need to be aware, constantly, of colour-blind casting issues &, as Thane would point out, in both History & English, sources must be combed, fine tooth ‘n’ all for “representativeness” which I think is interesting for him (they started this in year 6 -so at age 11) considering all our points @pedant @Bluesqueakpip…[Read more]

oops I’m badly off topic. Not cool.
